Today marks a milestone. Fetch The Pet Vet has officially been open a year. Thanks to all of our wonderful clients, subsequent referrals and local clinic support we are not only surviving, but thriving. We are so very grateful for the community support and are looking forward to many more years come.

It seems only fitting that today I share a very special memory with you all. It’s a story of a little red dog who ultimately became the inspiration for my desire to open our little mobile practice. Sadly, we lost her in 2019 but the vision of her lives on every time I look at my logo, “a girl & her dog🐾”.

This little magnificent pint sized creature was a daily constant in my life for 15 years. My first year of practice in early 2005 a sad and broken little dog was relinquished to our clinic. At the time I already had Bodie, Sid and Herbie to care for, a literal mountain of student loan debt, a move to Washington state and a fledgling newish career in veterinary medicine to manage. My plate was most definitely full and so I made a clear cut plan to fix her up, foster and ultimately find her a good adoptive home. But, as life would have it this little force of nature had a whole other set of plans and a different type of ending for her story. Our lives soon became irreversibly intertwined and off to work we’d go each day together. She could be found hanging out under my desk on her little cushion of blankets just snoring away. Soon this little pocket sized pittie became an integral part of clinic life as we knew it. To know her was to love her and as dogs go this girl was a fantastic ambassador for her breed. Always kind, patient, sweet, a lover of all pets and people and above all my loyalist of companions. This little dog loved me more than anything in the world and truly taught me that you can’t judge a book by its cover or a dog by its breed. She’s persevered and powered through an amputation, Cushing’s then Addison’s disease, a cardiac condition, an ACL tear and 6 months of intensive PT, significant osteoarthritis an inoperable abdominal tumor with end resulting pulmonary metastatic disease. In all honesty I think she held on so long just so that I wouldn’t have to say goodbye.

In all my years and through all of the animals that have come and gone in my life I’ve never had one quite like her. It was a connection that made her more than just a dog to me. Roo was my person, my ride or die and my heart and home became empty without her. I hope that I loved her enough. So today, tomorrow, next week or when you can, in her honor give a little back to a pet who needs you. You may just find your own Roo♥️.

Thanks so all of our fabulous clients and the Flagstaff community for your support and encouragement!

Happy 1 year Anniversary to us 🐾 🎈.

This is Cinnamon. He was one of my very first patients when I opened my little practice last year🐾.

Truth be told he really isn’t a big fan of vets in general, and l am no exception. But, together with steadfast dedication from his mom, we have been able to give him some comfort and a few extra months of love & life.

Happy 16th Birthday to you Cinn♥️

A couple of friendly reminders to help ensure it is a safe and healthy one for the four legged members of your family (In other words, we want you to enjoy a nice weekend at home instead of having to make a trip to the emergency veterinarian!):

1. NO CHOCOLATE for pets!! Like us, dogs LOVE Chocolate and will consume large amounts very quickly – unlike us however, chocolate is toxic to dogs – signs can vary from vomiting and diarrhea for small amounts consumed, to collapse and even death if a large amount is consumed relative to body size. Please keep all chocolate WELL out of reach of your pets.

2. LILIES ARE TOXIC TO CATS! Even a small amount of pollen licked off of their fur can make them make them very sick – it can even be fatal! To be safe, don’t have Easter Lilies in your house if you have cats.

3. BEWARE OF ‘GARBAGE GUT’ (aka Dietary Indiscretion)! Most pets have relatively sensitive digestive tracts. Table food whether given intentionally as a treat or accidently because the pet got into the garbage – can cause severe stomach upset and a painful, potentially life threatening condition called pancreatitis. Your pet will be happy just spending time with you – they don’t need any ‘extra special treats’ to celebrate.

Have a safe & Hoppy Easter 🐰🐣 🐶🐱.

When you are just sure it’s 💯% too cold for creepy crawlies be problematic, this 👇🏻 flies out of your own dog’s ear canal & lands directly on the bed🤢.

This folks is why we give flea/tick & heartworm medications year round.

Now please excuse while I burn my sheets.

February 20: National Love Your Pet Day

But who are we kidding? EVERY day is love your pet day!

This is my horse Willa. Even though I am primarily a small animal veterinarian, I also have horses & goats in addition to two dogs, Winifred & Fiona and a kitty named Andy 🐶 🐈 🐴 🐐.

Tell us about your pet(s) in the comments. Species, number, names; whatever you want to share.

Since flower arrangement season is upon us, we’d like to remind everyone that true lilies are FATALLY TOXIC TO CATS! ALL parts of the lily are toxic, and examples of ingestion include walking on the table where the arrangement sits, drinking water from the vase, chewing the petals or leaves, or even grooming fur where the pollen has fallen. They cause kidney failure, even with a very small amount of ingestion.

Our local florists know to not send lilies in arrangements to the clinic because of the 4 clinic cats, but if you have house cats, it’s a good idea to specify when you order.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
